Miss California goes to Washington

The controversial Miss California Carrie Prejean stopped by The Today Show this morning to announce she’ll be joining the National Organization for Marriage and their “Gathering Storm” in Washington to campaign against gay marriage. E! News reports:

“I think this is a huge issue right now. People are very passionate of this issue. I think regardless of our opinions, we just need to respect each other when we disagree. It’s all about respect.”
If so, somebody forgot to tell the organizers of the Miss California pageant, whose codirector Keith Lewis today released the following statement on Prejean’s foray into political activism:
“In the entire history of Miss USA, no reigning titleholder has so readily committed her face and voice to a more divisive or polarizing issue. We are deeply saddened Carrie Prejean has forgotten her platform of the Special Olympics, her commitment to all Californians, and solidified her legacy as one that goes beyond the right to voice her beliefs–revealing instead a much more opportunistic agenda.”

Of course, the most hilarious aspect of this story is it comes off the heels of Shanna Moakler’s revelation to Access Hollywood that The Miss California Organization paid for Carrie to get breast implants:

The organization paid for Carrie’s breast enhancement prior to her competing in the Miss USA pageant, which was held in Las Vegas, almost two weeks ago.
“It was something that we all spoke about together,” Shanna said referring to herself, Carrie and Keith Lewis, Shanna’s co-executive director. “It was an option and she wanted it. And we supported that decision.”

So, let me get this straight, Jesus is cool with fake tits, morally bankrupt beauty pageants and constant media whoring, but not gay marriage? Huh. I never really pictured JC as a homophobic douchebag from Orange County, but that seems to be the message these days. Keep spreading the Good News, Carrie!

Yes, because we know such a respected institution such as marriage should be kept between just heterosexuals. We all know that Heidi and Spencer just epitomize that holiness of matrimony….and the last thing we would want are those damn homosexuals to ruin the sanctity of marriage!
GIMME AN EFFING BREAK!!!
Has Prejean (aka Stupid Bitch) looked at the divorce rate in this country? Whatever, she’ll be a stupid-ass trophy wife before we know it.

I’m from Romania and I find it so funny that in the “land of freedom”, this blonde chick is bashed for opposing gay marriage. How’s that right? Seems like gay marriage is “the” thing nowadays. She should be able to believe in whatever the hell she wants and be able to express it.

Suddenly, it seems that you have to be “politically correct” to be able to win beauty pageants. I somehow find this contradictory.

Hmmm…I wasn’t aware that having fake breasts meant that you couldn’t be a Christian. Also, I wasn’t aware that competing in a competition where the majority of the money you obtain goes to charities and college scholarships was “unchristianlike.” Some of you take this shit a little too far. You can’t run around trying to find Christians doing something that seems unchristianlike. “Oh look at her, she’s a Christian and had an affair! Oh dear, look at that little Jesus freak smoking a cigarette.” Cool out people. We all do dumb shit, religious or not.

Now with that being said, I don’t understand the whole gay marriage thing. I’m not gay, so I don’t really give a shit what they call themselves. It doesn’t affect me, although I don’t agree with men fucking other men in the ass. I don’t agree with a lot of shizz but I’m not going to parade around pushing my beliefs on anyone like Cartman on Southpark.

You work that fifteen minutes, Carrie. It will be over soon and maybe you can make a Christian porno when you can’t make a living off pageants. And she might be writing a BOOK? About what?? How do you stretch out “I lost a beauty pageant and I hate fags” to 300 pages??

Maybe we have assholes so that we can shit. Wild guess, I know. Or I guess it would be for Lemmiwinks.
“A great adventure is waiting for you ahead. Hurry onward Lemmiwinks, for you will soon be dead. The journey before you may be long and filled with woe. But you must escape the gay man’s ass, or your tale can’t be told. ”

“I don’t understand the whole gay marriage thing. I’m not gay, so I don’t really give a shit what they call themselves. It doesn’t affect me…”

Amy,

It’s not about you. It’s about society as a whole, and the social foundations that form a society. You sound more open-minded than many of the lemmings here, so I would encourage you to read up on the arguments on BOTH sides.

A whole lot of straw men have been created, and I am surprised at how many people do not understand the basic premises of the arguments opposing same-sex marriage.

And how any adult can mock any philosophic position without first bothering to understand it is beyond me…

…Unless we are living in a world of children. Then it starts to make sense.
